PENNSYLVANIA MINERS.
The Wyoming and Lackawanna Men
Not Apt to Shrike.

me wyoming ana LacKaWannG Men
Not Apt to Shrike.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 10.-The Rec
ord has made an investigation of the strike
outlook and finds that there is no prospect
of any trouble in the Wyoming and Lacka-
wanna coal fields, the agitation being linz
tied to the Schuylkill and Carbon regions
The operators here have received no demand
for an advance other than n general demand
issued from the Schuylllill region. The cir
cular claims to be on behalf of the Miners
and Laborers Analgamated Association
and the Knights of Labor of the anthracite
region of Pennsylvania. The Records re-
search shows that the circular does not rep
sent the sentiment of the men outside Of
the Schuylkill region, and that the labor
organizations referred to have not, as far as
the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions are
concerned, united in the demand for an ad-
vance. The grievance in SchuylEiill does
not exist i'll the Wyoming and Lackawanna
regions In the last two places mentioned
wages are from 10 to 90 per cent. higher
than in Schuylkill, and the only thing that
would induce the men here TO strike would
be sympathy with the Schuylkil men. 1t
is not low wages but shortage of working
time that is complained of in the Wyoming
region. This is owing to an overstockcd
market, there being too many mines at
work and too many men to work them.
The sentiment here is to make the best of
the situation. Hundreds of persons have
bought little homes and they will not inn
peril them or deprive their families of the
necessaries of life by striking when there is
no special grievance

the interstate commerce law.
The two firms have been in existence
about seven years, employing 100 men and
were making money rapidly until after the
passage of the interstate commerce law,
when the railroads established rates which
enabled competitors shipping by water to
sell cheaper. Each firm was on the others
paper. The principal creditors are the

DARK HORSES.


The discussion of dark horses in the Sena-
tolial race is going on quietly but very ear
nestly. There are a good many very well
informed men here who think that neither
Bloxham, Perry nor Pasco can be elected,
and they are canvassing the chances of
other available men. Attention has already
been called in these dispatches to Judge
McWhorter. He has a good many
friends, but he does not seem to grow
in strength. There are two men who
are kept in the background, both
of whom will be brought to the front in the
near future One is Congressman David
son and the other is John Henderson the
latter is a lawyer and man of marked
ability and high character. He is a strong
Bloxham man, and it would not be at all
surprising if Bloxhams strength would go
to him when the time for the dark
horses to enter the race comes Mr..
Henderson has u good many friends
in the Legislature outside of those who are
supporting Bloxham. Exactly how much
strength Mr.. Davidson has it is impossible
to say, but from present indications it is not
nearly SO great as that of Mr.. Henderson II
is probable that if a vote of the people
could be had Bloxham would be chosen, as
he is very popular, but the people are not
doing the voting in this instance As long
as Perry stays in the race it is not probable
that Bloxham will poll larger vote than
he has already polled. and there is not much
doubt that he will stay as long as Bloxham
does
